Peggy,
Here's my 2011 fall/wtr crop..in eBuckets! I had about 50+ going...

As an efficient, small-space gardening system, eBuckets are tops! And, if you find the components for Tapla's Container Formula, you can fill 'em for a fraction of the cost of using straight Miracle Grow Potting Mix. I filled approximately 60 buckets (cat litter, 5-gallon, & 6.5- gallons) for $75. It would have cost me 20 bags of straight MG potting mix @ $13/bag otherwise.

I only grow indeterminate tomatoes. This past tomato season, using Tapla's formula, I grew my best crop of tomatoes EVER in eBuckets.

LMK.
